Radeon 9700 Pro/PSU Connection
Okay here is the question.
How do you have your 97KPro connected to your PSU? I've heard it's better to have it off to itself depending on your chipset. However, I've also heard it's better to have something in parrallel with it. How do you have it connected, and what do you think? |

I have dual power supplies in my computer, I have one 350 watt one running everything non-mechanical and another 350 watt one running everything with moving parts. I don't think it matters if you put the radeon with other components or not.

I wouldn't sugguest doing things that may damage the card. You never know who might read this and think that means it's a good idea. I've been having some minor glitches with the card and now have just moved the power over to my fans. It seems to run much better than when I had it connected up to my HD's.

Mine has its own line. I tried connecting a floppy power connector to it once (has the same pin out) but that didn't work.
